In conformity with the explicit orders of General Scott, to keep in front of the enemy, so long as he should remain between Winchester and the Potomac, General Patterson had proposed an advance into Virginia and the initiation of an offensive campaign.# The General-in-Chief permitted this advance, but en- jomed, that, should the enemy retire upon his resources at Winchester, the Union forces should not press him.
Remaining in the neighborhood of Bunker Hill, until the 17th of July, Gen- eral Patterson commenced a flank movement on Charlestown. The enemy's cavalry, in force, under Stuart, watched these movements. Fearing that the enemy might advance, aud eross the Shenandoah river by Keyes' Ford, the 3d Brigade was pushed forward during the night of the 20th, and occupied a posi- tion commanding the ford. The term of service having now nearly expired, the regiment was ordered to march to Harper's Ferry, and turn over its camp equi- page, and thence move by way of Hagerstown to Harrisburg, where, on the 29th of July, the men were paid, and mustered out of service.
* General PATTERSON to General SCOTT, June 23. * *
* The force under Jackson con- trols the people of Berkeley county, whom, I believe, are sorely oppressed, and would welcome our approach. That force has become some littlo encouraged from our not advancing, and may soon annoy us. If so, I shall not avoid the contest they may invite ; indeed, if it meets the approval of the General-in-Chief, I would march my whole force, as soon as the batteries re- ceive harness, upon the enemy, and drive him, step by step, to Winchester. I believe this force can, in ten days, rid the adjoining portion of Virginia of its oppressors. I may be forced to this course. My fear is, that I may interfere with the plan of the General-in-Chief, and drive the enemy to the aid of the main body.
( REPLY.) HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY, . Washington, June 25, 1861.
I write by mail, in substanee. Remain in front of tho enemy while he continues in force, between Winchester and the Potomac. If you aro in superior, or equal foree, you may cross and attack him. If the enemy should retire upon his resources at Winchester, it is not enjoined that you should pursuo him to that distaneo from your base of operations, without a well grounded confidenco in your continued superiority. * *

NINTH REGIMENT.
THE Ninth regiment was formed from companies, assembled at Camp Cur- tin, from widely separated sections of the State. These companies were recruited by the men who afterwards became their officers, and arrived in camp from the 20th to the 23d of April, 1861. Without any previous concert of action, with a view to a regimental organization, ten companies were brought together, and the regiment was organized by the choice of the following officers: Henry C. Longnecker, of Allentown, Lehigh county, Colonel ; W. H. R. Hangen, of Allentown, Lehigh county, Lieutenant Colonel; Charles Glantz, of Easton, Northampton county, Major. Thomas S. Bell, of West Chester, was appointed Adjutant. At the time of the choice of officers Colonel Longneeker was in New York city, but immediately on being informed of his election, hastened to Har- risburg, and joined his regiment. From the date of its organization, April 22d, to May 4th, it remained at Camp Curtin, during which time it received arms and accoutrements, and was subjected to daily drill.
On the 4th of May, the regiment proceeded by rail to West Chester, arriving about nine o'clock in the evening, in the midst of a severe storm of snow and sleet. No provision had been made by the government for food or quarters for the troops; but they were cordially welcomed by the citizens, and provided with every thing necessary for their comfort ; and so long as they remained in the vicinity of the town, they received frequent and substantial tokens of kindness. The court house, and a commodious public school building, were thrown open for their reception. A healthy and beautiful location was selected for a camp, which was designated by Colonel Longneeker, the commandant, Camp Wayne, in honor of General Anthony Wayne, this being the immediate neighborhood of his revolutionary exploits. The regiment practiced company and battalion drill with great assiduity. A few days later, the Eleventh regiment, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Coulter, joined the Ninth, at Camp Wayne, where Colonel Longnecker had erected permanent quarters of lumber, the gov- ernment not having furnished tents. It was some time before clothing was provided, and, when received, it proved to be of inferior quality.
The Ninth regiment moved by rail on the 26th of May, via Philadelphia, to Wilmington, Delaware. It was ascertained that bands of disloyal citizens were in eamps of instruction, preparing to join the rebels, and this regiment was thrown into the State to encourage and strengthen the loyal sentiment, and to prevent the sending of troops to the rebel army. A eamp was formed at Hare's Corners, at the intersection of the road leading from Wilmington to New Cas- tle, and the great highway running parallel to the Delaware river, some three or four miles from New Castle. Remaining here until the 6th of June, the regiment was ordered to join General Patterson's command, at Chambers- burg, to which plaee it proceeded by the Northern Central and Cumberland Valley roads. The Ninth was attached to the 4th Brigade, of the 1st Division, commanded by Colonel Dixon S. Miles, of the Regular army, who was subse-
